Ok, that's fair. Here's what I'll try to implement over the next few days
(although real life promises to keep me busy for about another week, so if
I don't get to it right away please be patient):
1) Move the /usr/X11R6/bin removal attempt to the preinstall
2) If the removal fails, tell the user via a debconf note and fail to
install with an error
3) Ship the symlink as part of the package itself, using x11-common.links
to have debhelper create it as it does the other symlinks in the
package
Are there any other major issues I'm missing? I know this doesn't
automagically move user's files around to make this upgrade transparent,
but I'd rather not break things out from under their noses if possible.
